Chapter 24: The Old Man
Ding You naturally wouldn't refuse, and followed these mercenaries to look at the stalls one by one, but he really didn't have the money to buy them, and bluntly said that he just came to see them in advance and had a good time.
The mercenaries didn't care about this, and they all said that they would leave the exercises to Ding You, which attracted Ding You's great gratitude, and promised to come over when they earned enough money.
After several mercenaries who couldn't wait to make a move asked Ding You about his salary and savings in the hotel, they also gave the lowest price very intimately, only one hundred gold coins.
Ding You was overwhelmed with emotion.
However, after learning that Ding You really had no money at the moment, the enthusiasm of the mercenaries was much lower, and no one dragged Ding You over anymore.
Only Ding You was left wandering the streets alone.
He looked at the exercises one by one.
I've seen it before, but today I'm going to buy it, so it's very clear to ask.
The mercenaries were also willing to explain to him, and they didn't dare to exaggerate.
After all, every mercenary wants to sell his incomplete exercises, and he still has to rely on the real materials of the exercises.
Along the way, Ding You kept every exercise book in mind.
But he didn't buy any of them, and he really didn't have enough money.
In addition, those gold coins hidden outside the town should be able to buy a copy, but those gold coins are also outside the town, Ding You has to find a way not to make people doubt the source of the nearly 100 gold coins.
Walking through the stall street, Ding You came to the other end of Qingshan Town.
It is not as prosperous as the town, and the houses are also dilapidated, which is considered a slum in Qingshan Town.
The people who live here have no vindictive cultivation.
** who accompanies mercenaries to have fun and make money to survive, disabled people who are seriously injured and have lost all their strength, and unlucky people who hardly have the slightest talent for vindictive cultivation.
This is the most lifeless place in the entire Qingshan Town.
Most of the people who live in it are like walking corpses, with no purpose in life at all, and they don't know the meaning of their lives.
"Yo, you're here, hurry up, go and pull out the grass in the vegetable field for me, it's so unusual, it's so many days to come once!"
An old man suddenly rushed out in front of Ding You.
The beard and hair are all white, the body is thin, the skin is wrapped in bones, as if the wind can blow to the ground, but the waist is upright, very energetic, not old at all.
The most striking thing was that the skin on the old man's body was all wrinkled together and reddish-brown, as if it had been burned by flames.
In fact, the old man had indeed been burned by the flames.
And it wasn't the fire of the outside world that burned him, but the fire in his body.
The fire attribute fighting qi that he had cultivated so hard to cultivate!
"Huh...... Okay!"
Ding You answered, and quickly ran out to work.
The old man stood there and watched Ding You run into the vegetable field, then he withdrew his gaze, hurried to his wood-made, rotten-and-dilapidated room, and lay down on the table, holding a pen in his hand, and wrote something seriously.
Weeding the vegetable garden is not a simple job, and Ding You spent more than ten minutes.
During this period, the old man kept writing and changing on his desk, writing less and thinking more, knocking his head more times than the tip of the pen touched the paper.
"It's done. ”
Ding You walked over with a smile and reported, waking the old man up from his contemplation.
"Huh?"
The old man was excited, looked up at Ding You, and said, "It's over." ”
"Yes!"
Ding You nodded and replied.
"Then sit down. After the old man had said this, he stared at the paper on the table and fell into deep thought.
Ding You sat quietly next to the old man, his eyes also looking at the paper on the table.
What is written on the paper is an exercise.
Fire attribute fighting qi cultivation exercises.
Ding You has seen it countless times before, but this time it is the most serious.
This exercise was created by the old man next to Ding You!
Since its inception, this practice has only been around for more than 60 years and has not yet been graded because it is incomplete and deeply flawed.
The old man in front of him was the only cultivator of this exercise, and he was also the last cultivator.
Ding You didn't know the old man's name, and the old man himself never mentioned it.
But since Ding You sent a ** who was abused by mercenaries to this slum, after seeing this old man for the first time, a mercenary specifically told him that there were rumors about this old man.
The old man was born in Qingshan Town eighty years ago, **, and he didn't know who his father was.
His talent for Dou Qi cultivation is amazing, and he was promoted to Dou Qi at the age of ten, but he did not have the Dou Qi Gong method for him to practice.
But the old man never gave up.
He worked hard in the Demon Beast Mountain Range for three years and earned more than a thousand gold coins.
These gold coins were naturally not enough to buy a complete Dou Qi Gong method, so the old man traveled to several cities and bought hundreds of incomplete exercises that had been practiced by people and caused the death or disability of the cultivator.
These exercises have proven themselves dangerous, and their prices are surprisingly low.
After buying these exercises, the old man began to improve them according to the cases of the exercises practitioners, and created his own cultivation exercises!
It took another seven years, and the old man finally had results. He couldn't wait to start practicing the new exercises he had created.
The results are amazing.
The cultivation speed of that exercise is extremely fast, so that the old man can reach the nine-star fighter within a year!
It took two years to cultivate to a five-star fighter.
The old man used this exercise to crisscross the Demon Beast Mountain Range, earned a lot of money, exchanged for countless resources, and bought a large number of exercises.
While he was cultivating, he continued to study.
He became the most respected and legendary figure in Qingshan Town at that time.
After that, although he put a lot of energy into studying the exercises, the growth rate of his cultivation was still amazing.
Seven years later, he became the only Dou King-level powerhouse in Qingshan Town.
But ten years later, when he broke through to the Douhuang class, something went wrong.
The speed of progress of the exercises is completely beyond his control.
The huge and scorching fire attribute fighting qi burned all his meridians, and his entire person was seriously injured.
The old man lost all his strength overnight and fell to the dust.
Thankfully, he didn't die.
It's just that because the meridians are completely destroyed, I can no longer cultivate.
After that, he lived in this slum and continued to study his exercises, which he made his life's pursuit.
The luckiest thing is that this old man is a fire attribute fighting qi cultivator.
That nameless exercise.
Naturally, it is also a fire attribute cultivation technique!
This allows Ding You to save the gold coins that he prepared in advance for buying exercises, and use them for it!
